Application tiled May 13, 1%12.

To all 'zo/2.0m it may concern:

. Be it known that I, Timonoiin G. FIsoHnL, a citizen of the UnitedStates of America, residing at Manhattan borough, city, county, andState of New York, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements inSpray Attachments for Faucets, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvement in spraying devices, the objectbeing to provide a devicethat can be attached directly to a faucet andby which means the tvater that flows from the faucet will be sprayed.

The main object of the invention is to provide an attachment which canbe applied `directly to a faucet Without the use o-f a hose or othersimilar duct, the said attachment being particularly adapted for bathingpurposes.

A further feature of my invention com prises an adjustable shield "whichis movably secured to the spraying device and by Which means the sprayedWater, or rather some of the sprays of Water, are prevented fromstriking the face. A

. My improved device is also designed to hold a toilet perfume, salt, ora medicament.

I Will now proceedto describe my'invention in detail, the novel featuresof which I will finally point out in the claim, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, wherein? Figure 1 is aside vien1 of a faucet'having my improvement applied thereto; F ig. 2 isan enlarged vertical sectional view thereof, the section being taken ona line 2--2 in Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional plan View,thesection being taken on a line 3 3 in Fig. 2. y

As herein illustrated, my improvement comprises al cylindrical box orcontainer 1,

provided, at one end thereof, with a iange 2, threaded exteriorlythereof, as at 3, with which the threaded flange 3a of a cap 4 engages.The cap Li is designed to hold a resilient conical or tapering bushing 5made preferably of rubber. yThe bushing 5 is held in Contact with theflange 2 by means of the cap 4. The function of the bushing 5 is to gripthe faucet and hold the box l thereon.

Serial No. 699,906.

To permit of the escape of the Water, I perforate the box l as at 6, andas many openings as desirable may be used. The boX l is preferablyclosed at the bottom, as shown.

To regulate the spray, I provide a movable band 7, having a deliectinghood 8. When the band 7 or spray regulating device is located, as shown,the Water, as it flows from the spout 10 of the faucet 9, will flowthrough the openings dbeloW 'the band, as the said band will close allthose openings which are located in that portion of the Wall of the boi;l which is covered bythe said band.

lhould I desire, for instance, to shut o.

the openings intermediate the top and bottom of the box l, I would movethe band to the dotted position. As the band or shut oli 7' is adaptedfor ymovement longitudinally of the box l, I am able to shut ed thespray at various points longitudinally of the said bon. The hood 8 isadapted to prevent the upper zone of jets fromspraying too high.

The tapering bushing 5 adapts the box for attachment'to ,faucets ofvarious sizes, and it Will also be noted that the box 1 can readily beunscrevved from the cap l Without removing the bushing from the faucetfor the purpose of placing a medicament for movement longitudinallythereof and over said openings, and a deiieeting hood at the lower edgeof said band, and integral therewith, said'hood being located adjacentsaid openings.-

Signed at New York' city, N. Y., this 10 day of May, 1912.
